Diary of a Heretic

Etienne Allard is a libertine. Carousing with prostitutes, gambling away his fortunes, and carrying on clandestine affairs with the married elite of Belle Époque Paris, he wiles away his days, and nights, drinking deeply from the cup of carnal delights both divine and devilish. But even pleasure has its limits. So, when the infernal emissary Arman Sur appears with an offer of a life of sensual passions unimaginable in exchange for his soul, a deal is struck that will lead Etienne on a journey to the heights of rapture and the edge of madness. Decades later, an ageless and aimless Etienne wanders the earth like Cain bemoaning his self-inflicted tortures. That is until fate intercedes, and the reappearance of a one-time enemy bearing a remarkable secret sets Etienne on a new journey to reap his own vengeance upon the devil and reclaim his lost soul.
